exerpt from an article in the "Health" section of

todays LA Times:<br><br>""YogaFit in Hermosa Beach was

among the first to bring yoga into the fitness

industry, says founder Beth Shaw, training 4,000

instructors since 1994 and now 100 per weekend. Through the

company, fitness, health or spa professionals can become a

yoga instructor in three days for

$299.<br><br>"Fitness professionals are the natural people to spread

yoga to the masses," Shaw says, "because they are

already familiar with group movement."<br><br>To those

who criticize her short-term approach, she says: "Who

do they think is building their market? Our style of

teaching yoga is more likely to flip the switch of someone

new to yoga than a woo-woo-style class with lots of

Sanskrit, chanting and difficult poses."<br><br>full

i think this line sums it up. this type of yoga

is clearly a fad. it's last year's pilates or tai

bo.<br><br>. "In the past people were drawn to yoga for the

mind-body-spirit connection; today the motivation is a vigorous

workout and a great body."
